Airtran Cargo

[Kingwood]

Had a SWA ramper mention this week we were sending a Cargo
Team to ATL...said Airtran doesn't carry Cargo but was about to bigtime. Can any Trannies confirm??

 

[FIREMAN]

We did cargo for a while , but stopped about 2 or 3 years ago. Not sure why. We would haul live crabs out of Baltimore the container would leak so the airplane would smell like, well you know. Then on the back haul we would get a load of flowers, then the airplane would smell like, you get the picture.

 

[Ty Webb]

We also used to carry the mail, which smelled like, you know, mail.

I watched $40 million or some crazy amount of cash coming off on the belt loader one day. Like an Elton John Pez dispenser.

Until last week we shipped crack in our planes, then we got crack in a plane.

Oh no I am sure with your clientele you are still shipping crack.

 

[Dashcaptain]

Hopefully the AirTran side won't be hauling crack as well.

Oh eventaully you guys will have the same Cattle Call clientele as SW.

"Oh no you didn't"!

Very classy.

Good one! You are the man!

 

[dicko]

Very classy.

An MEL regarding a gash or crack in a seat cushion is really not that unusual.

I don't understand your hostility to Capt. Fuzzy's statement ? It's obvious that he's an animal lover. I'll refer you to his earlier statement; "I like monkeys".

Case closed.

I used to see stacks and stacks of mail cartons left unguarded and exposed on the ATL ramp. Then it started to rain. The ramp idiots let it get ruined. No supervision, no accountability. That was the end of the mail contract.

The following week I saw boxes and boxes of tropical fish left exposed to 95+ degree temperatures on the ramp for hours. They were all ruined. That was the end of the cargo contracts.

Total incompetence and lack of quality control.

 

[FIREMAN]

I believe Delta had the contract to handle the mail once it came off the airplane.

Sounds like the Valuejet Critter operation.

It is.

 

[dicko]

It is ..... true that my attacks on my future coworkers stems from my fear of an integration that doesn't benefit me personally.

Willy,

I certainly appreciate your newly discovered integrity. :laugh:

 

[Bill Nelson]

dicko,
Talk about a lack of integrity. Who are you quoting above?

Bigtime? You guys buying some all cargo 747's or something? I mean seriously, how much cargo can you carry on a 717 or 737-700? Can anyone else hear UPS and FEDEX shaking in their boots?

I have to agree. I don't think they are going after the big freight dawgs. Probably just trying to generate revenue.

I wouldn't exactly say it's confirmed. When you go to that page it says "AirTran Airways no longer provides freight transport services"

It'll be called Guadaloupe Cargo probably. The AirTran name is gone and the pilots will fly for Guadaloupe Air until they figure out the SLI or until some get preferential interviews.

Bob, I don't want you to look ridiculous or uniformed, but it's Guadalupe Holdings. Now carry on with your rhetoric little one.

Not following you on that one.
